The Cons titutional celebration was con-
tinued at Philadelphia, on Friday, the 10th,
when about half a million strangers are said
TO have been in the city. The President, at
tended by Secretary Bayard, ex-President
Hayes and other notabilities, reviewed the
employees of the Custom House, and was
afterward rendered a reception at the Com
mercial Exchange, where he made brief
address, urging the importance of more
active interest and participation in public
affairs by the business classes. From the
Exchange the Presidential party proceeded to
Broad and Walnut streets, where they re-
viewed the great military parade, which was
led by Lieutenant General Sheridan. About
10000 men were in line A Philadelphia dis
patch Gays:
The military parade was under command of
Gen. Sheridan. 1t included nearly 3J,OOO uni
formed soldiers, and, taken us II whole. was per-
haps never equaled by any similar demo nstra-
tion of modern times. the sounds OF fife and
drum early told that preparGt oEs were being
made for the grand streee demonstrations OF the
nation protectors. Even during the time of
the war of the rebellion there were ro5 as many
soldiers in Philadelphia. The arrival OF the
Presidential party was the signal for repeated
cheering. and when the Chief Magistrate
made his way to the rostrum ut the
lower end of the hall cheering broke
out again, and the names OF Secretary
Bayard, Governor Beaver, George w. Chiids,
Mayor Filter, and A. j. DreXel were also
cheered. President Colby introduced the Presi-
dent. Tho cheering broke out again, and 1T
was some time before Mr.. Cleveland could be
heard. He said Il am glad have an oppor-
tunty to meet so large representation of the
business men Of Philadelphia 1t is well that
we should not entirely forget in the midst of
our centennial jubilee that the aim and pur-
pose of good government tend, after all, 70
the advancement Of the material interests
of the people and the increase OF their
trade and commerce. The thought has
sometimes occurred 10 me that in the hurry
and crush OF business there might well be in
fused little more patriotism than we are wont
TO see, and little more recognition of the fact
that II wholesale political sentiment is closely
related not only To the general good but to the
general success OF business. OF course our
citizens engaged in business are quick 70 see
the bearing of any policy which the Govern
ment may Gdopt rs 1T Affects their personal
success and their accumulation. But L would
like 10 see that broad and patriotic sentiment
among them which can see beyond their pc
culiar personal interests and which can
recognize that the advancement Of the
entire country is an object for which
they may we'll strive, even sometimes
to the diminution of the constantly increasing
profits. Must we always look for the political
opinions of our business men precisely where
they suppose their immediate pecuniary adj
vantage is found? l know how vain it is to
hope for the eradication Of IL selfish motive in
all the affairs of life, but l am reminded that
we celebrate to-day the triumphs of patriotism
over selhshness. VIII any one say that the
concessions of the Constitution were not well
made, or that we are not to-day in the full
enjoyment of the blessings resulting from
a due regard for all the conflicting in
terests represented by the different States
which were united IA hundred years ago? be-
lieve the complete benefits promised TO the peo-
pie by our form OF government can only be Sc
cured by an exercise Of the same spirit of tolera-
ton for each others rights and interests in
which ii had its birth. This spirit will prevail
when the business men OF the country cultivate
political thought, when they cease to act for
their purely selfish and exclusive benefit. / am
of the opinion that there is no place in the
country where such condition can be SO
properly and successfully maintained as here
among the enlightened and enterprising bust
ness men OF Philadelphia
